Polymers for Second-Order Nonlinear Optics

Edited by Geoffrey A. Lindsay and Kenneth D. Singer

Description

Presents the most recent developments in second-order nonlinear optical polymers. Covers the most important technologies necessary to achieve commercially viable devices based on special polymeric materials with second-order nonlinear optical properties. Discusses important molecular design considerations, how to process the polymers into films, the stability of the films, their optical properties, and prototype devices that can be made from these films.
